Popular actor Haruma Miura was found dead at his Tokyo home on Saturday, investigative sources said.

According to the sources, the 30-year-old was found unresponsive at his home in Minato Ward on Saturday afternoon. He was rushed to a hospital but later pronounced dead, the sources said.

In 2015, Miura received an award for his supporting role in “The Eternal Zero,” a 2013 film based on the personal history of a wartime fighter pilot.
He also appeared in a number of stage productions, such as in the 2016 Japanese adaptation of the Broadway musical “Kinky Boots” in which he played a drag queen.
